Audio description is used to make live performances more accessible to people with sight loss. The course will introduce participants to accessibility in theatres, adopting a rights-based approach to content access; it examines current UK legislation on accessibility in entertainment contexts. It will then show how accessibility is realised in theatres, what it involves, which access services are used, and what other types of access can be provided. Participants will be introduced to various settings and equipment configurations for surtitling for the D/deaf and hard-of-hearing and audio description for people with sight loss. The practical part of the course involves writing and exercises, including giving a short presentation to the group and working under guidance to create scripts for audio description.

Localisation involves translating and culturally adapting software, documentation, and games. It requires translators with highly specialised skills. The localisation industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and there is a lot of work in the market for translators who possess the right skills. First launched in January 2009, this online Localisation course is an interactive e-learning course designed and developed by a practising software localiser with many years of experience in the localisation industry.

Subtitling for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (SDH) is an accessibility service intended for viewers who cannot fully enjoy audiovisual materials due to their hearing loss. In the form of the text presented on the screen, SDH conveys what is heard in video materials, i.e. speech, music, sound effects, etc. The course is designed to gain more understanding about this particular service and the creation of quality subtitles for the target audiences.
